Aye, he used the research details gathered by other "scholars," over the years, and then for the most part ignored them. Did you not see the documentary on channel four on Thursday night? As for "Braveheart," yes it was a good film, but Randall Wallace re-wrote Scottish history, and now there are so many misinformed people out there who think that it's fact. It's all tosh - for instance the French princess that Wallace made pregnant was only 9 years old and living in France when Wallace was killed. Bruce's father didn't arrange for Wallace to be captured. He died years earlier while on a crusade, and he wasn't a leper. It didn't stop the author from writing his book on the subject and totally ignoring the facts. So, let us then move on to a subject which has less grasp on reality, the search for the holy grail. Scottish history is actual history, but holy grails etc are founded on legend. Some of the "facts," the Priory of Sion, for instance never existed until a hoax emanating from France in the mid 1950's mentioned it. Next we'll be thinking that Erich Von Danichen's "Chariots of the Gods," is history. Naw, I think you'll find that this, like so many before is, as I put it earlier - Shite, and based on Shite.
